Should I steal £5 off my mum?

If I give it back? Its just I have no bus fare or money at all for college tomorrow so won't be able to go if I don't. I can't ask her she is asleep in bed but her £5 is in the bathroom tucket in her phone cover where she usually keeps her money. I can't see any other cash lying around, I can't ask her in the morn because I set out at 6.30 she goes mad if I wake her up. Any ideas?

ask her.. it'll be worse if u take it without telling her.
Leave her a note explaining what has happened, and tell her you will give it straight back to her but def dont just take it..cos that would be stealing!

I have a load of 2ps in a jar but I can hardly give them to the bus driver, should I just leave the jar in place of the fiver with a note, wouldn't really be stealing then lol.

I used to do that when I was 11 if I needed money for school lol

yeah just take it but be sure you know she's not likely to get pissed off either way, if you ask or not! some parents are like that! they get mad if you wake them up to ask and they get mad if you dont wake them up :rolleyes: typical eh

half fare yes, free travel- no

depending on where you live ofcourse but when I was getting the bus to college between the ages of 16 and 18 I had to buy a travel card that cost £20 for the year and I got half fare with it

Yes, like others have said, take the money but be sure to leave a note!

And it's 'FROM my mum'. Sorry to be pedantic. :smile:
Ah, London, thats me :smile:.

I'd laugh if the bus driver didnt have change for a £5 note :biggrin:
